Even without clear blue skies..stunning town and scenery!!
I went there three times, beautiful place.Greetings from Serbia.
Serbian women aren't so friendly but they look good
Greetings to you too Serbian brother! Love and respect from the island of paros.
Greece is beatiful country ❤🤝🇸🇪
Leukada has exotic beaches with turquoise color waters, like tropical beaches! So beautiful!!!!
Really so Nice n Beautiful episode iam completely enjoyed it Thanks to Gabriel
What you think as "churches" inside castles you visit,are actually the place, where the ammo for canons etc were kept!! Similar design, to the Fighting aircraft hangars,that we have nowadays!
Love the live Greek music at end.
The song in the end made me cry, a lot of memories, thank you Gabriel for the beautiful video!
It's ok for a grown man to cry, occasionally.
Real men don't afraid to cry...
@@kenmasters2034only weak and silly American men cry to mama
The (woman)singer was ''definitely'' not Greek...
@@kenmasters2034Kenni, men should not cry
Brilliant video Gabriel your definitely getting into the swing of visiting the gorgeous Greek Islands. Yamas.
The turquoise color of the sea is breathtaking.Parga is rightly considered one of the most beautiful seaside resorts in Greece.
Beautiful area, loving the Greece videos👍💜
Green with envy 😂 you just gave me a good idea for a trip: rome - bari and Matera- brindisi - Parga - Corfu 😉
Oh yeah, definitely a good route. Also Paxos.
Hello dear Gabriel. My name is also Gabriel by the way😀. It's nice you have a great time in our country and you like it a lot and I want to thank you for your great travel experiences you share with us. I live in eastern Macedonia in Kavála city which I suggest you to visit for sure also our nearby thassos island 🏝 which is remarkable. There are many places to explore in our region. My top suggestions are archeological place of fillipoi with a fantastic ancient theater 🎭 and ruins of a city where apostle Paul was imprisoned, the cave of Alistrati which is unique and huge, the old city of Kavála and many more. Enjoy your time and take care. Best regards Gabriel
I will show Kavala in an another video coming soon. 😊✌️
Just flicking through pictures of thassos on Google maps and just wow ! Have to check that out one day
I was there on vacation as a 12 year old. That's 28 years ago now😅. Looks a lot like what i remember it. I only remember parts of it though. Fantastic little piece of history. A lot of tourist though, even back then.
Greece 🇬🇷 can't wait to meet you 🥰🌊💙
there is a small exotic island near lefkada and onasis island of skorpios which is called meganisi and is worth to be visited.it's more peaceful than the others ionian islands,full of trees and stunning beaches.
OH!!! Gabriel, this is so beautiful. It's so amazing to find something different everywhere one goes. It looks so relaxed. Greetings from Australia
Gabriel also in the north is Epirus,the north part of Epirus with the towns of Agii Saranda,Examilion Chimmara,Argyrokastro
Parga is beautiful! But i expected to see the unique villages of the region.... The closest to IOaninna - Monodendri with a charming square and great food
And Vikos Gorge view
this one goes on my bucket list... thank you G for showing it...
Good vibes there!
I don't like bad vibes man
You had a car.
The nearby beaches are wonderful.
It's a series of beaches from Preveza to Igounenitsa non stop.
Brings back wonderful memories. Greece is my favourite holiday destination. Been to Parga twice its so beautiful 😊
Fantastic video ❤Really enjoyed Thankyou
This is the first location on this Greece trip vlog adventure that grabbed my attention as a place I would like to visit!
I have a summer house 30 minutes south of Parga it’s so beautiful and lefkada is my favorite island in Greece
Lefkada is high on my list to visit. It was tough to skip when I was so close, but I want to do it properly, not just for half a day.
Porto katsiki Beach on Leukada is one of the most beautiful of all Greece with turquoise waters and white sand...its a must for everyone...@GabrielTravelerVideos
I would love to see you paraglide in Lefkada
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I don't want to mess with your plans Gabe but Lefkada island (like all large Ionian islands) deserves a ...week...
@@jimjim8645 Sounds like a plan for my next trip.
Great travels Gabriel
Whenever Gabriel is in Greece, I always seem to buy more feta cheese.
Buy cucumbers too
@DaltonMirklestein Let's go the whole hog and chuck in some olives too!
@@witlof5492 with a litre of ouzo 👍
@DaltonMirklestein no - filthy stuff. I'll stick with the white wine, thanks.
Switch to graviéra. ;-)
Swimming videos are by far my favorite.
16:43 nice color
Hi Sasha, I like the water too
😅😅"at your own risk", my goodness, who on earth thought this ... but anyway it's your paradise Gabe !🤣🤣you definitely have to go to Lefkada💙
It's Gabriel time💪, soon the clouds will disapear🥇🥇
Yeah dude! That is one beautiful little town. Best gyros ever❤ was there 15 years ago 🙌
Are you still going to be diving deeper into mountain territory? As you just barely touched it.
Also tiny sidenote. unfortunately you didnt visit the Vikos gorge from other sides where its the most imposing views
PS. The mountains lost most snow now. this mountain beauty with the snow is best in February - April. Without snow also great but for nature. But for mountain sceneries with snow in these months is exceptional.
We re waiting for you in Peloponnese
I love Sparta.❤
Gabe, I think the reason there are so many arched ceilings is because thats how the roof is held up. I think that's the principle of arch architecture.
My Dad was born just outside of ARTA not very far from Parga. More to the south West from there. Each trip I have done to Greece, always wanted to visit Parga but never did. Maybe on the next trip. Cheers for the video Gabe :)
Cool. 👍
Super nice place!
Nice
fighting the good fight, the evil fight, the neutral fight......thanks, that was good 💯
Parga looks beautiful, that sunset, just wow! Great castle ruins, although I think there should have been a “at your own risk” sign at the other castle with the dark tunnels haha. Thanks for another great tour. 😊❤️✌️
I see the UFO catcher and I approve the town 9:25
Go to Mount Athos, you ll love it!
Go to Izmir. Splendid 🇹🇷
Does Arabia have booze? Greece has bad booze but at least they have booze. @@BhutWhut
I like Greek ouzo and Bulgarian women
I've wanted to go since my first time to Greece in 1990. Sounds super interesting.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos If you go there you need to spend at least two weeks, if not a month, and I'm not joking I was there a month and I didn't see all the monasteries which are GIGANTIC more like fortresses or towns. The distances between them are big, the transportation is hard, the nature is vast, there's many hidden smaller monasteries and sites from monks who wanna live completely off the grid etc. Also I know you don't like interacting with random people much but I had some genuinely interesting insights from monks living there, you could try befriending some to show you or let you film some of the more hidden treasures and artifacts that go back to early christianity or even before. There's a lot that's hidden there from plain eye, believe me. What I'm saying is please don't rush it or you won't be doing yourself or the viewers any justice. Seriously consider staying there a month and taking it slow and try and strike up conversations with locals for better access.
Great videos of Greece.
Nice video once again! Btw if you walk to the other end of Valtos beach on the hill you can find a ruined monastery :)
Good job bro 👍
Nice ending
Go to Lefkada, visit the Lighthouse in the south, eat at Rachi restaurant and watch the sunset. Trust me, you will not regret it!
I’ve never been to Thrace. I’m sure there’s lots to discover there too
This is Epirus. Thrace is northeast.
@@malamatinas1
I know. I'm just saying.
@@RovexHD oh ok.. my bad.
Nice one 🎉🎉
ME TO I LIKE THE SOLO EXPERIENCE. GREAT VIDEO , NOTE I HAVE NEVER GOT TOO VISIT PARGA , SALUDOS
CAP man 😂
Stop shouting mister
He writes in caps because of poor eyesight, not a problem.
Glad to hear that he's not being rude 👍
Sorry bro
Seems like your presence made the Greeks get out to enjoy their beautiful country. Now, that’s a lot of people around you 👀❤️
❤
Saturday...big screen and tour around Greece.....yes....
"Gabriel high roller traveler mode!"
Great video as always but this place seem more touristy ....imagine in July August ....enjoy the sea😅
The main town is busy, in a nice way, but around it in all directions there are many little villages.
Come to Bosnia again and explore the fortresses Jajce , Travnik , Vranduk and others ! 😀❤😀
Bosnia 👍
I just have a dream a couple minutes ago where I go to the jungle,there are so many trees and chill situation that makes me cozy, I listened to my friend who speak English fluently like a native and I understand what she was saying but I'm little bit jealous because when I wanna try to talk or respond with I cannot, it doesn't came out of my tongue, i just ask her "how do you can speak english properly like this, your speaking absolutely perfect" she's not answered me, she just continued talking and talking and then I wake up and realize my earphone still stick up on my ear, apparently I was listening to video of listening practice but I'm getting fall asleep, it's the same experience about two weeks ago when i listened to your video and i felt asleep,and i hear you are talking,you kind of tresspasing a church in greek island and there's someone came to you and said kind of "what are you doing here, and you said i just look the church"😄
Maybe this one: ua-cam.com/video/NqQjTt3PakQ/v-deo.html
Are you from Malaysia Diana?
I will teach Diana!
@@BhutWhut
You should learn some Hebrew, you'll need it soon.
Shout out to Scooby the cat, who joined Gabriel for breakfast. I had the pleasure of him sitting on and with me last year. Parga really is my place of solace.
Did you use the back door ? 😎
Hi Gabriel, A genuinely nice town the weather is starting to heat up within the next few days. It's Memorial weekend-long travel and high traffic beaches business officially open in the US.
What's good my brother!
Gabriel. Alright alright. Craig the although slower on keeping up with literal history. Because of you a person can just about picture Ottoman or other bits and bobs from earlier Gabe Traveller on the halt your film to type interest to get a glimpse. It's great! See ya:)
Ps. Maybe the musician was a descendent of the Normans that settled with a Greek wife. Wonderful!
What's up broheem? 🤙
Most probably the (woman)singer was not Greek...
Since you are at this Preveza region (Ipiros periphery) i will just mention that a few kms (less than 1hr drive) from Parga there is Monolithi (or monolithos) beach one of the longest (sand)beaches in Europe.
❤❤❤
I been to that part of greece 2002
Consider Plastira lake if you haven't been there. I am sure you have been to Pelion and Chalkidiki. Even though those areas have changed. Come to think of it. Would love to see some videos of Mt. Athos.
Gabriel you generally have an excellent eye for examining a building's structure. But since you are American, you missed the arched ceilings. The only method to construct sturdy ceilings in the middle ages, renaissance etc - when they didn't have reinforced cement - was to make them arched. So those arched ceilings rooms were most probably warehouses etc.
Come to Limnos, North Aegean Island its a real hidden gem!
Arches are just a better, stronger way of building
The western part of Leukada has the most beautiful beaches on the planet.
Rhodes - advice from having been.
Plenty Historic Sites for views - Bars & Restaurants aplenty...
Worthwhile.
Gabriel come back to Portland we need you it's cool and dreary 60 degrees. If you do a travel report the sun will come out again. LoL😂😅😅
Very tempting. 😛😎
Hey Gabriel. Would you mind telling your channel viewers what you do about getting cell phone data to your phone and laptop. Do you buy an international data plan from the US or do you do something else. I see you walking around in all these countries and your accessing your phone for info and am curious how you do that. Thanks
T-Mobile international plan, nice and easy.
“ if you’re looking for be baby, you know you can find me following the sonne.”
👍👍👍
Beautiful town although a bit too touristy.
How was salad with cooked breakfast?
Compared to places like Paris and Rome this time of year lots of Greece surprisingly lacks tourists.
Greece per size of population has way more tourist than France and Italy.
Comparing to Paris and Rome, Greece lacks tourists all year...
So many amazing Castles in Europe, are there any Castles in the US?
Disneyland Florida 😂
I think there is one in Canada.
There's White Castle.
Connie, ru UK?
@@DaltonMirklestein no the United States
Nice town, but way to commercial for my taste. You really get that mass tourism vibe. Family beach holiday with a sprinkle of culture kind.
Welcome to the Greece, India, and California UA-cam channel ;)
And Cappadocia: www.youtube.com/@GabrielTravelerVideos/search?query=Cappadocia
You missed Thailand (it's a must), Hawaii (another must), El salvador and Czechia only this few months and Gabe is just warming up...
😃👍🏻
🙂❤👍
Gabe, top 2 beaches you've been to in Greece? Thanks.
A Greek ‘date,’ parakalo!
As a greek i was always envious the way other countries (mainly European ) preserved and maintained their castles, fortress etc..And how they show them off and make good use of them as tourist attractions. Despite the fact that greek politicians are corrupted and don't care about their country and nothing will ever change growing up realise that keeping all our old structures like that (almost demolished,run down etc)gives a nice touch to the whole experience and make it from a ourist attraction a site where only explorers want to visit. There's more than 1000 castle and fortress in Greece and except 2-3 of them no one knows anything for the others.
Καλό είναι να υπάρχει ποικιλία. Εδώ στην Ελλάδα τα έχουμε ΟΛΑ και ρημάζουν ανεξαιρέτως, δεν είναι κατάσταση αυτό. Πόσα χρήματα εισπράττει ο δήμος Πάργας από όλους τους επισκέπτες; Είναι τόσο δύσκολο να το αναστηλώσουν λίγο και να το καθαρίσουν από όλα τα ξερόχορτα και τις βρωμιές; Ντροπή.
At this place of Parga the buildings are the same as 40 years ago. Parga is a place with many and big olive trees.Venetians was trading olive oil from places of the Ionian sea and planted many olive trees there.
You should have eaten at Krioneri taverna, way better than those restaurants for english people.
Gabriel 😂 😎☀️🌊
Trust me, parga does not have 11,000 people. I live here. Parga is a village and has around 1500 people.
That's what it says on Wikipedia, but maybe that includes the surrounding area:
"Population (2021)[2]
• Municipality 10,762
• Density 39/km2 (100/sq mi)
• Municipal unit 3,819
• Municipal unit density 55/km2 (140/sq mi)
• Community 2,489"
💙🤍💙
Can someone please explain what Harald means when he says that he's going into "Gabriel High Roller" mode?
It means that he's going to point the camera away from himself to show the scene but keep talking from behind the camera.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos 😂 Ah, thx Gabe 👍
Harald with the funny Japanese guy, and referencing Gabriel High Roller mode is hilarious 😅
Ha, 1st comment....
Second. ✌️
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Great vid! I love this series and Greece. TY ^5
Επειδή από τις παρατηρήσεις γινόμαστε καλύτεροι θα πω αυτό .Δεν είδα ένα παγκάκι στην παραλία να κάτσει ένας κουρασμένος. Αναγκαστικά πρέπει να κάτσει η σε ταβέρνα είσαι η καφετέρια.🤨🤨
Oh no! Not cat again where customers eat foods.

Hi Gabriel, Erope passed war several years ago. Hope they don't bring 3rd WW because of Isreal injustes!
Parga, Albania to be more correct, also Preveza and others.
